Programming Cocoa with Ruby: Create Compelling Mac Apps Using RubyCocoa
Introduction:
This is a book for the Ruby programmer who’s never written a Mac app before. Through this hands-on tutorial, you’ll learn all about the Cocoa framework for programming on Mac OS X. Join the author’s journey as this experienced Ruby programmer delves into the Cocoa framework right from the beginning, answering the same questions and solving the same problems that you’ll face.
Together you’ll build a single application that threads throughout the book, and it’s not a toy. You’ll cover topics that may not be the flashiest parts of Cocoa, but they’re ones you’ll need to know to create robust, feature-rich applications for yourself. And you’ll learn more than just Cocoa and RubyCocoa, you’ll get first-hand effective agile development practices. You’ll see test-first development of user-interface code, little domain-specific languages that take advantage of Ruby features, and other Rubyish tricks.
At the end of the book, you’ll be ready to write a real Mac OS X application that can be distributed to real users.

Overview
Silverlight is Microsoft’s new web-based User Interface (UI) technology, based on Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), which is introducing many revolutionary concepts in the world of UI development. Silverlight uses XAML, with tools like Expression Design and Expression Blend, to create astonishing UI effects (such as gradients, compositions, and animations.) In addition to the richness of the UI elements, Silverlight 2 allows the use of C# or VB in addition to JavaScript to automate web pages. With Silverlight, you have the power of .NET on multiple platforms (IE and Firefox on Windows, Firefox and Safari on Macintosh, and Firefox on Linux). The author brings you up to speed very quickly with numerous hands-on examples.

Adobe AIR – Create Modify Reuse
Adobe AIR 终于出了一本新书，查了一下amazon的评价还不错，评分的人不多，但都给了5分。
简略的流量了一下啊这本书，内容还不错，并无很多篇幅介绍IDE，反而详细介绍了如何使用Flex SDK 来进行编译调试。看来不装Flex Builder3 应该也可以学习这本书了。
接着每一章都是举了一个小例子，非常的实用。慢慢学习，我也会把不错的内容作为笔记写在Blog中。
Adobe AIR for JavaScript Developers Pocket Guide
Adobe AIR 也算出了有一段时间，不过相关的资料比较少，特别是一些系统的、全面的文档资料基本没有。
今天无意间看到一本O’Reilly的电子书《Adobe AIR for JavaScript Developers Pocket Guide》，书也不是很厚176页，准备读一下。我是一直挺看好RIA技术的，特别是Flash在这个方面的发展空间应该挺大的。
如果有兴趣一起阅读，可在以下的emule地址下载：（两个不同的格式PDF和chm）
- Adobe air for javascript developers(Apollo).pdf (Beta)
- Adobe.AIR.for.JavaScript.Developers.Pocket.Guide.chm(正式版)
chm格式的电子书是2008年出版的针对AIR正式版的书籍。
PSP and eBook
这几天迷上了用PSP来看电子书。上周一个偶然的机会，从同事哪里获知原来PSP上还有PDF的阅读软件Bookr，下载装了一个，试用了一下，阅读英文的PDF的效果非常不错。虽然这个软件也宣称支持中文，不过试了半天，对中文的支持实在不敢恭维，猜想可能和PDF中使用的各种不同的中文字体有关系。
除了Bookr，另一个xReader也可以阅读简单HTML和Text文件。由于是国产软件对中文支持非常不错，不过从稳定性上来讲Bookr比这个xReader应该强多了，其中最不稳定的就是MP3播放功能，xReader中所带的MP3功能简直就是鸡肋，一个播放列表操作起来非常不便。不过有总比没有好，偶尔当作背景音乐放放还能凑合。还有个eReader的阅读器，功能基本和xReader相同，不过xReader可以支持高版本内核的PSP系统。
为了能读一些免费的书籍，当然还需要一些辅助的PC软件，现在向你推荐一个-小说下载阅读器。它的功能挺强大的，可以从各大知名的eBook网站直接帮你把电子书籍下载下来。同时值得推荐的网站就是book.sina.com.cn，好书还真的不少，你可以非常方便用这个软件把你喜欢的书下载下来，转成txt格式或者直接复制下载的html，这样就可以使用xReader在地铁中看书了。
